Former Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi’s has reacted to India’s refusal to play against Pakistan in the World Championship of Legends. He also criticizes the stance taken by Indian players.

According to sources, Shahid Afridi said that cricket should not be sacrificed for politics, if the Indian team did not want to play, they would have told in advance.

The former captain said that there is nothing better than sports diplomacy, unless we sit together and talk, problems will not be resolved.

Shahid Afridi further said that if someone had a problem with me, I would not have come to the stadium, but the match should have happened.

It should be noted that the high-voltage match between Pakistan and India in the World Championship of Legends was canceled due to the refusal of former Indian players.

Indian cricketers objected to Shahid Afridi’s presence and refused to play.

Former Indian players like Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan openly adopted a hateful attitude towards Pakistan and flatly refused to take the field with Pakistan legends.

Indian players were severely criticized on social media for this behavior.
